Arab nationalism was a movement striving for Arab political unity in the Middle East. There was undoubtedly a huge increase in an Arab sense of nationalism between the years 1948 and 1973. One major reason for this was the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, which gave the Arab powers something to unite against, because not a single Arab nation recognised Israel as a legitimate state.

4.2.1. Exodus (1960) One of the important films from this period is Exodus. Exodus is a 1960 film about the birth of the modern state of Israel in 1948.

A number of factors led to this outcome namely

As assimilation transformed into a pipe dream, and with anti-Semitism on the rise, the progressive spirit of the Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, was shattered by the suspicious nature of secular society. Such progressive spirit, inspired by the much larger European Enlightenment, which incorporated ideas such as reason and inherent freedom, gave hope to the Jews ostracized by modern society.

Thousands of Syrians are trying to escape their government and the terrorist group ISIS. Many wonder why we should let refugees in America, or why any country should allow them.
